Toot

For the first time in 38 years, will not be receiving an Xmas card from my former next door neighbour. Due to the month-long #CanadaPost strike, which just ended, he decided to forgo them, and will focus on one for next year.

Thankfully, I was able to visit and chat with him and his wife yesterday for a good hour in their home over some tea.

That was something a card really couldn't provide anyways.

Here's the first #Xmas #card he made in 1986 (the same year my truck was still considered "new"):

It has a simple, hand-written inscription of "Rejoice" on the inside.

There was a card in 1985, but it was a colour copy of a drawing his daughter had created. That ended up serving as the inspiration for the run of cards he has done ever since.
